Papers lay scattered about on the table, while tennis Racquets and balls were proclaiming the sport of the day's recreation. Pleasure and fun had run high thru many long weeks of the springtime. Now was at hand the oft-mentioned, the reckoning day of the Tenners. Therefore to ward off effects of a possible infamous failure Measures preventing such end were pursued by the system of cramming. Hours all unnoticed pass by while the Senior remains at his lessons. Slowly his head bends more low as he studies the wisdom of Hegel, Herbart and Kant and a dozen or more of the other old thinkers. Slowly this throng of philosophers mingled and melted together, While in the seething concoction the student distinguished his classmates. Changed were they much from the usual dignified conduct of Seniors. These were the frisky and mischievous creatures who students in nought six Nicknamed the verdant and frolicsome Freshmen. Yes, truly much pleasure Fell to the lot of this class on the day when its flag proudly floated, Topping a telegraph pole well encircled with tar for marauders. Victory camped with the Freshmen, but later the Sophies took vengeance, Snatching away the proud flag at a triumphing party at Perkins'. School days were far from fatiguing while mischief relaxed tender minds. Delicate wlriffs of that camphor disturbed once again the exquisite Calm of the ether. Again coats were exchanged to produce combinations Provoking the laughter. Again thru the lectures of jonsie rang Ergo And tertiarily. Then a delightful excursion to homestead of Hughes And their return which the shimmering moonlight enchanted, bewitched. Interests of various sorts claim the attention. The first oratorical Contest for Freshmen was held, and Tom was the eminent winner. Parties and picnics at Flat Rocks cemented the fast growing friendships. Spring was at hand very soon, and with it the banquet at Rice's, Vainly malignant Sophomores were on deck to abscond with the eatins. Needless to mention the sad disappearance of Caesar's far famed bridge Also the bulletin board and the phonograph placed in the chapel. 16
